IMPRQVEMENT IN BAKE-FANS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l33,377, dated November 26, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD D. MODON- ALD, of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of N ew Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Roasting and Baking Pans, of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to apparatus to be placed in ovens for baking bread or roasting meats, and all similar purposes; and it consists in the mode of connecting the parts together, or more definitely in a beveled ange around the edge of the upper part of the pan, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

In the drawing, Figure l represents a vertical longitudinal section of the pan taken on the line o: x of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of Fig. l taken on the line 'y y. Fig. 3 isa section, showing the fastening.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the base or lower portion of the pan, the sides and ends' ot' which are beveling as baking-pans are ordinarily made. This part is provided with proper handles B B for convenience in using. C is the upper portion of the pan, which is made with vertical sides' and ends, with an inwardly-inclinin g beveled tiange, D, around its entire edge, as seen in Figs. 1 and 2. The angle of this ange, from a vertical line, is designed tobe about the -D may be on the lower instead of the upper portion, but I prefer the arrangement shown.

The two parts of the pan may befastened together in any manner. In this example of my invention, I use a metallic semicircle, e, on each part, at either the sides or ends, with a revolving hook, f, attached to the lower semicircle, the arrangement being plainly seen in Figs. 2 and 3.

I do not confine myself to any particular device for this purpose, nor to the precise form or arrangement of any of the parts de-A scribed, as, variations may be made without departing from my invention.

Having thus described my invent-ion, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The body A of a roasting-pan, in combina tion with a cover, G, having the tapered ange D held down firmly into the mouth of said body, as and for the purpose described.
